Straight out of the BW playbook we have a film that has NO CREDITS at the start or the end! Yer gotta love that.
Was it better than BW? What isn't better than BW? Yeah, it was better and at least had a few real frights. Unfortunately, it was plagued with a few of the 'stereotypical' characters. Micah, boyfriend, was such a 'hard-headed, smartypants' I wanted him dead in the first ten minutes. Didn't happen. Also, the plot hooks that paved the way for the climax. Did I say "climax", yeah, something BW didn't actually have.
When it was over people actually reacted unlike BW where people sat stupefied over the fact they lost 80 precious minutes of their lives.
Many of the folks in the audience were too young to remember BW, which is good as this is much better but not for the jaded viewer.
